Legend of Legends Chapter 275 – Unlimited Hunting 2

Junhyuk wanted to tell Eunseo and Sarang what had happened, but he decided to wait. They called them B-ranked monsters, but he would still have to risk his life. If he made any mistakes in the upcoming training session, he could be killed.

Junhyuk went back home and checked his bank account. He had sold seventeen leaves and made $1.7 billion, he put $500 million in the account under his real name, and $1 billion under Max’s account. The remaining $200 million, he transferred to the GST account.

To kill legend candidates, he had to train without rest. He needed all the time he had.king at those figures, he started laughing.

“They are only numbers.”

When money crossed certain line, it stopped looking like money and it started looking more like just a number. He took a shower and changed clothes. It wouldn’t be long until he went back to the Dimensional Battlefield, and he didn’t want to waste his time on Earth.

“Enter.”

Junhyuk watched his surroundings change. He had lived there before, and nobody could guess his basement had become a place like that now.

Relaxed, he sat down and closed his eyes. There was plenty of mana in the facility, unlike before. While it was still little when compared to the Dimensional Battlefield, it was enough for his training.

He inhaled deeply and unleashed the living spirit, which ran through his arteries like crazy. The spirit had grown much bigger. After rushing through his arteries, it gorged on the bountiful mana as it took to his veins.

Junhyuk felt the living spirit expanding and thought Artlan might have been wrong about it. When it traveled through his arteries, it did so in full form, but when it traveled through his veins, it broke into many pieces.

When Junhyuk tried to follow the living spirit through his arteries, it put enough strain on the spirit to shatter it into bits. However, the living spirit didn’t care, and it dispersed and returned to its original spot.

At first, Junhyuk had only tried to follow the spirit, but now, he was able to push his will to it while it traveled through his veins. The spirit felt each part and corner of his body, and each cell was influenced by Junhyuk’s will, and he learned from it. His body was truly big and wide.

Junhyuk felt the living spirit returning after traveling through his veins and realized it must have absorbed quite a bit of mana, as it was much bigger now.

The living spirit returned to his gut, and he stopped it there. It didn’t matter if he did it when it traveled through his arteries, but when it went through his veins, Junhyuk had to focus on it.

Monsters would come at the appointed time to the facility, and he slowly opened his eyes and looked at his cell phone. Even though the entire place was in a different space, time still passed, and the clock told him it was four in the morning.

“It took quite some time.”

Thinking back, he had started training around ten at night, and it was now four. The living spirit had traveled through his veins for six hours. When it traveled through his arteries and absorbed mana, it did so at a much faster rate. However, the place was entirely safe. If not, he wouldn’t be able to practice there.

“I must thank Agenchra.”

Junhyuk got up and teleported. At the moment of the teleportation, the living spirit dispersed, and Junhyuk opened his eyes. He knew that if he focused on the spirit, his teleportation distance would increase.

“Is it still a hundred meters?” he guessed at the distance he had traveled.

Junhyuk didn’t know how far he would be able to teleport in the battlefield, but for now, he focused on training. He did another hundred-meter teleportation and used the Spatial Slash. The living spirit disappeared again, but this time he felt it. It traveled fifty meters out with the slash and returned to him.

Junhyuk started thinking about what that could mean.

“If I add the living spirit…”

The living spirit absorbed mana, so if he added mana to his regular attack, he could create sword energy. Thinking that way, he thought the Spatial Slash could deal even more damage. A spark appeared in his eyes, and he waited for the cooldown to end. It was time to improve his powers.

—

The space tore apart, and twin-headed ogres appeared. There were ten of them looking around.

“Rooaaar!”

He looked at the ogres and cracked his neck left and right.

“I’ve been waiting.”

His health and mana were already filled up, and he activated the living spirit and took off running. Junhyuk went so fast that the ogres could only watch him.

Slash!

Without leaving any trace, he sliced the two heads of one agre. Then, he stepped on the ogre’s shoulder and jumped.

As he jumped, the twin-headed ogres swung their weapons. They all had a reach of about five meters when taking the lengths of their arms and the tree trunks into consideration.

Junhyuk saw a trunk coming his way and ducked. Then, he jumped for a second time and opened his legs wide as another trunk passed below them. After that, he turned around in midair and used the Spatial Slash.

As he did so, he activated the living spirit, and the Spatial Slash hit the ogre standing in the center of the others. Then, a blood-colored shockwave swept through the surrounding ogres, and after landing back down, Junhyuk jumped again.

The shockwave was enough to kill the ogres, which was a direct result of him activating the living spirit while using the Spatial Slash. However, some ogres were outside of the range of the shockwave. The bodies of the twin-headed ogres were quite wide, and only two or three could fit within the ten-meter radius.

Meanwhile, the more Junhyuk used the living spirit, the easier it would be for him to transfer his will to it.

Junhyuk was already capable of controlling each of his muscles at will, and now, by strengthening his muscles with mana, his movements went even beyond the previous limit.

He sliced an ogre’s leg, kicked its head and continued running. As he ran, he saw the ogres’ attacks and dodged to the side.

Boom!

The ground shook, and he jumped, cutting an ogre’s arm, stabbing its shoulder and kicking its temple. He saw the ogre’s head cave in and pulled out the sword while spinning. Of course, as he did, he slashed the heads that were within range of the spin. Without stopping, he jumped again, and a trunk crashed against the place where he had been standing.

While in the air, he teleported and stabbed the back of an ogre’s neck. Then, he pulled the sword out, slicing the ogre’s head, and landed.

“Whew!”

He had already activated the living spirit, and he was getting tired much faster than previously, a side effect of him pushing past the limit of his movements.

As he stood, he lowered his sword next to him. There were four twin-headed ogres remaining, and he exhaled heavily.

“I can still do this.”

He ran forward again, and the ogres came at him like berserkers.

—

Junhyuk was lying on the ground panting roughly.

“Whoa! I’m dying here.”

He got up and saw his arm deformed and bent out of shape.

“Ugh!”

Junhyuk learned there was a limit to using living spirit. On the last spawn, he had dealt with twenty-five twin-headed ogres, all within thirty minutes.

At first, he had killed ten of them quickly, but as the number increased with each spawn, he had spent more time on each. At the last spawn, twenty-five of them had appeared, and he couldn’t deal with them head on, so he had had to run and buy time to kill them.

He walked over to the altar, dunked his head in it and drank. The water from the basin entered his body and recovered his health and mana, and his deformed arm regenerated as well.

Junhyuk opened and closed his hand again and again and murmured, “Shit! B-ranked monsters are so strong!”

During the last wave, he had had to block an ogre’s attack with his left arm. He had been wearing armor, but the attack still broke his arm. However, those were still B-ranked monsters, and he didn’t have anything to add to that.

“Compared to buff monsters, these aren’t very strong at all.”

He couldn’t deal with buff monsters. Leaning against the altar, he looked around. The twin-headed ogres’ bodies piled up, but there weren’t that many of them. After some time, the others had naturally disappeared. It was just like a video-game. If one didn’t pick up the drops, they disappeared.

So, there were about forty bodies left.

“I’ll clean up later.”

Junhyuk was so tired, he couldn’t do it now. His health and mana had been filled back up, but he was still tired.

“I wish I could also recover from exhaustion.”

However, the living spirit was running through his arteries and that made him less tired. Junhyuk sat down comfortably, and the spirit started moving again.

The spirit travelled through his arteries twelve times, and his muscles felt less tired. Once it returned to his gut, he got up.

“Whew!”

Using the living spirit in the fights had earned him a lot. He could now swing his swords in any situation and he could also fight with his body instead of relying on his swords. Furthermore, the living spirit was completely used to his body.

“Now, time for the spoils.”

He had fought for two hours without checking what had dropped, so he started checking the bodies for blood and mana stones. Since they were B-ranked monsters, he found many.

“Not all of them left some.”

He found thirteen mana stones and seven bloodstones. They were all heavy, which would bring him a nice amount of money, and even when the bodies had already disappeared, the stones remained.

“I feel no need to sell them right now.”

Junhyuk had enough money for now, so he pulled out the crystal orb given to him by Agenchra. He took everything out of it and filled it back up with the bodies.

“This is very nice.”

It wasn’t a Spatial Bag, and he couldn’t pull out the exact items he wanted, but it was the most effective thing for carrying bodies.

When Junhyuk thought about fighting the twin-headed ogres again in the evening, he sighed.

“I’ll get some rest.”

He took off his armor and said, “Exit.”

Appearing in the bathroom, he smiled bitterly.

“This is now my entrance.”

He was all bloodied, so he had to take another showered. After that, he walked out and prepared a light meal, cooking instant rice and some side dishes. He ate, went over to his bed and lay down. Lying down, he felt the drowsiness of sleep approaching and murmured, “Not yet.”

It wasn’t safe to bring Eunseo and Sarang to train with him yet. He alone would be responsible for them when that happened, but he would get them there eventually.

In bed, he quickly fell asleep. He had trained beyond his limitations, so he couldn’t stay awake and slept soundly and deeply.

Then, his phone rang, and as he checked it, he smiled bitterly. He thought he had slept for only a moment, but it was already one in the afternoon. After checking the number, he picked it up.

“Why are you calling?”

“You came over yesterday and only talked to Elise. What happened to you?”

“I had something to sell to Elise.”

“Ah! Does it have to do with someone stealing monsters from South Korea?”

He laughed and answered, “You call it stealing, but it’s a good thing someone stole them. It’s better that way, isn’t it?”

“So, you aren’t denying it?”

“Nope. I got something from a hero and pulled the monster spawns, but it won’t happen again,” he answered.

“You killed that many monsters all by yourself?”

He smiled. Previously, he wouldn’t have been able to deal with those monsters on his own, but now, he had the living spirit, and it made it easier to hunt.

Currently, he was hunting groups of B-ranked monsters.

“Is that why you called?”

“Do you have time tonight?”

“Tonight?” He took a moment to think and asked, “Is it important?”

“No, it’s not that.”

“Then, let’s meet after next Friday.”

“After next Friday?”

“Yes.”
